Customer Reviews

Little Ricky's Point of View

This book was great! It started out teling how he was a wonderful drum player to the death of Desi and Lucy. It tells some how he truly loved Desi and all the time he spent at their house. It also talks about his drug problems to his faith in Christ. This truly is a wonderful book to read! Also, thanks Lucy and Desi for making I Love Lucy so funny. And thanks Keith (Lil' Ricky) for putting so much hard work in I Love Lucy!

A truly wonderful book!

I really highly recommend this book by "I Love Lucy's" little Ricky , Keith Thibodeaux. He talks of his days of working on the "I Love Lucy show" and about finding Christ. He talks a lot about his faith as well, which I think is wonderful. I really enjoyed this book and would give it ten stars if I could.

Great reading!

My sister got an autographed copy of Keith's book and loaned it to me. I live in Japan and began reading it. I find it to be very informative and just good story reading. It's not a book to keep you on the edge of your seat but keeps the imagination going about what it would've been like to be a "child star", starring on the most famous sitcom during the last century. Also, what it would be like to continue on with life after such a famous sitcom. I'm buying more copies for myself and friends. All I can say at this point is...read it! You'll love it!

From child star to one of God's shining star

This book is eloquent in revealing the "glitzy" life of a child star's life (Keith Thobodeaux) that turns from comically entertaining to dramatically disheartening and then to peacefully satisfied. A truly enjoyable book. The writer (Audrey Hingley) did a great job of letting the reader picture every detail of Mr. Thibodeaux's life from his years with Lucy & Desi to his life now as a Christian.
